EXPOSURE METERING AND CONTROL

Exposure metering displays

The displays in the viewfinder or monitor light up continuously to
indicate that the exposure meter is ready:
– in aperture priority mode the display of the shutter speed,
– and in manual mode one of the two triangular LEDs in the view-
finder lights up, either individually or in conjunction with the
center circular LED, while the light balance is displayed in the
monitor.
If you let go of the shutter button without activating the shutter, the
relevant LED(s) remain(s) lit up until the camera switches itself off.
If the shutter speed setting dial
is disabled.

Notes:
• In aperture priority mode, if correct exposure cannot be
achieved using the available shutter speeds, the shutter speed
display gives a warning by flashing (only in the viewfinder, for
more details, refer to the "Aperture priority mode" section on p.
169).
• If the exposure meter reading is below the metering range in
very low lighting conditions and in manual mode, the left hand
triangular LED in the viewfinder flashes as a warning, or the
left-hand bar of the light balance flashes in the monitor. In aper-
ture priority mode, the shutter speed is still displayed. If the
required shutter speed falls below the slowest possible setting,
this display also flashes in the viewfinder.
• If the camera is out of use for an extended period or is stored in
a case, always turn it off at the main switch. This also prevents
pictures from being taken accidentally.
